A Fearful Experience.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Aug. 19- Milledge
Darn, capable brakeman, for fourteen
years in the service of the Charlotte,
Columbia and Augusta road, met with a
horrible accident and sickening expert
ence this evening while at his wheel on
the down train from Charlotte. He was
on the top of Car with his back to the
engine putting on the brakes as the train
approached the bridge near Ridgeway,
aud unconscious of the danger until the
structure knocked him from his footing.
He fell between two cars and was tightly
clinched in such a position that he dan.
gled upon the crossties as the train ran
along. In this horrible position he was
carried for quarter of a mile, experienc.
ing fearful agony when he suddenly fell
to the road bed, the entire train passing
over him without further injury. He
was conscious during his peril and from
fear of being crushed to atoms his mental
suffering was simply horrible. His head
and body were awfully bruised. At his
home in this city he lies upon an uneasy
bed, being attended by DR.. Howe, who
considers his injuries serious, but not
necessarily fatal.

After Many Years.

ATLANTA, Ga, August 17.-Jake Pet.
tyjohn, who was sentenced to death thirty
years ago in Forsyth County, this State,
and who escaped by flight, has just been
arrested in Indian Territory and will be
brought back for execution. In 1858
Clayborn Vaughn was killed in Forsyth
County without quarrel or cause. Five
men were implicated in the killing.
Their names were as follows: Jake Pet.
tyjon, L. @. G. McGinnis, Isac Freeland
William Brannon, and McGinnis. They
we're all indicted and tried for the muir.
der of Vaughn. The trial came off in
1860. Pettyjohn, Freeland, and L. @. @.
McGinnis we're convicted of murder and
sentenced to be hanged, the two others
were sent to the penitentiary. Freeland
was hanged in 1860. McGinnis broke
Jail, was recaptured and hanged in 1861.
Pettyjohn broke jail with McGinnis, and
has been at large ever since. The Sheriff
of Forsyth has gone after him.

Tie Curse Of Credit.

ATLANTA, August lS.-There was a
larger attendance at the Farmers Con-
vention to.day-especially of delegates
and ladies-than on any previous day OF
the meeting.
AtS.90a a. m. paper on the "Causes
of the depressed condition of agriculture
and its remedies" by the Hon. Sam Bar
nett, of Georgia, chairman of the report
and programme committee, was read by
Col. T. Howard. The paper was received
with applause by the farmers, who
regretted that Barnett was prevented by
illness from being present. Col. John
Diamond, of Louisiana, then delivered
an address on "Credit-its relation to the
present condition of agriculture" He
said among other things:
"Whence comes this new slavery !?
Look for it in the title of this address.
In Southern agriculture, credit has been
the most insidious agent that could have
been we'll devised. The fact that each
locality has but one dominant crop leads
to excessive risk. Opportunities to get
credit lead lis to 60 in debt, when we do
not need what we buy, and the very
marrow of our lives is sucked out, and
finally we die, or the sheriff liquidates
our estate and the end comes. The worst
result of credit to the farmer occurs here
in the South. For illustration: The
Southern planter has plantation which
he has not money to cultivate; he goes
to factor and pledges to him his crop !;
a crop that is not planted, and procures
funds with which to proceed with his
culture. What sort of man is this factor
that accepts surety that does not exist,
that is subject to yicissitudes and
changes of weather."
In conclusion Col. Diamond said:
"May We not be too willing to keep our
necks in the moose of the money king,
hoping always for uniform good fortune,
and that our occasional good fortune will
save US. This is the most serious ques.
ton, and we should consider it for those
who follow US, as we'll as for ourselves.
This credit made easy leads US into too
large culture and into reckless culture.
Repeal the crop lien laws, let the farmer
dispose of his own crop to whom and
where he chooses. Let him pay his
debts in the ordinary course as other
men do. If he fails to pay, let him be
prosecuted, as other men are prosecuted,
by due process of law suit, judgment ard
its execution, and not by peremptory
seizure of his crop as now. When this
shall be done, a conservative man can
get all the credit he wants, as character
always tells and capital knows how to
trust. The reckless man will get no
credit and losses made on him will no
longer need to be assessed upon the
whole community. Then shall the New
South arise in all her strength and show
to the world that wealth of resources,
the magnifcence of which is beyond our
dreams"
Col. Fishback, of Arkansas, was The
next speaker, and gave one of the most
interesting addresses yet delivered before
the Convention. His subject was:
"Labor in its relation to the present con.
dition of agriculture" Col. Fishback

The Whole Truth Stated.

Weak and delicate females will find
Westmoreland's Calisaya Tonic the best
strengthening and invigorating tonic on
the market. Be sure and try it.
Calisaya Tonic contains very large per.
eentage of the pure Calisaya Bark, com:
bined with the most valuable tonics and
Alternatives known, and will cure Chills
and Fevers, Dyspepsia in all its forms,
General Debility, Want IF Appetite,
Chronic Headache, Indigestion, Nervous
Exhaustion, Loss of Sleep, Muscular
Weakness, Neuralgia of the face and stom-
ach, Heartburn, and all diseases arising
from torpid liver or general arrangement
of the kidneys.
We claim that the bark of Calisaya OF
Cinchona contains great deal more anti:
periodic properties than Quinine, which is
merely one Of the extracts from it. The
Calisaya Bark cures Chills and Fevers, and
all other diseases arising from malaria in
the system.
None genuine but that made by West

CHICAGO, August 1S.-A Nashville,
Tenn, special says: A strange case is
reported from the Hermitage district,
this County. Richard Hunt, colored
preacher, has built up little congrega-
tion and established small church.
He wanted to head a revival, but the
slight expense attached to lights, etc,
could not be met. He stole COW from
one of his neighbors, brought it to Nash
vile and sold it for SIS, and went back
and started his revival. He secured
fifteen converts and had six more prom.
ising mourners on the anxious seat when
a constable came along, closed up revival
and brought Hunt to Nashville, where
he is now in Jail.

RED RUST PROOF SEED OATS

AS the planting season is now near aud the new
crop of Red Rust Proof Seed Oats is we'll on the
market, merchants would do well to consider the
causes which contribute to the failures in the Oat
Crop so frequent Of late years, and which have
been attributed to cold weather, droughts &C.
Being the largest shipper of RED RUST PROOF
OATS in tho South, and having consequently q
most extensive correspondence In that line, / am
prepared to state on the best authorities at these
failures are due to inferior, light weight half
grown, unmatured Seed. which cannot start o root
sufficient to stand the least cold or dry weather,
nor would they make good crop under the most
favorable conditions. The localities where the
Genuine Red Rust Proof Oat is raised are subject
to severe cold and long droughts yet they seldom
have failure, as they plant only the BEST SEED.
To meet tho demands of the trade, handle all
grades, but only GUARANTEE the Full Weight
Standard Red Rust Proof Oats, which is only 1c.
to Sc. higher than the inferior grades.
Will be pleased to ill your orders, either from
New Orleans or Kansas City. Will mail samples
on demand. You can wire at my expense for
prices. ALI weights guaranteed within one per
cent. Terms, Sight Draft with Exchange, Bills Of

proved that it was necessary for farmers
to be independent of negro help and that
they should teach their sons to work,
and, instead of having boys sitting
around corner grocery stores discussing
the reason for the negroes not working,
have them at work, and if they don't
work, discuss the subject with them. In
